Hello, I am using a homey pro and there are already a lot of devices connected and in use. I want to add dome more devices from another floor in my house, but the range of the homey is not good enough to reach them. How yould I improve the range of the homey or is it possible to have a kind of range extender that I can use on the other floor? Thank you for your ideas 🙂 ---
